498 L’HOSPITALET, VILADECANS BASEBALL In its first appearance as an Olympic sport after six demonstrations and one exhibition at the Games, baseball had eight teams competing for the first medals, from Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Italy, Japan, Spain, Japan, Puerto Rico, Chinese Taipei and the USA. But there was little doubt about which was going to get that gold. The Cubans have won twenty of the thirty-one world championships in which they have taken part, including the last four, and were the Panamerican champions in La Havana last year. And Mr Conrado Martinez, the Cuban Minister of Sports, was clear about the stakes: of all the golds possible “the most precious was the one in baseball”, a sport that is a national obsession. After the Cuban team, which included players already myths in the game, Omar Linares, Orestes Kindelan, Lourdes Gurriel and Antonio Pacheco, had beaten a promising but relatively inexperienced USA team 9-6 in the preliminaries, its path to gold was well marked. In the semis, the first placed team in the preliminaries plays against the fourth, a formula for another Cuban win over the USA team, which nonetheless provided some praiseworthy offensive play. The Cubans entered the final unbeaten to finish a stylish and convincing 11-1 in the final over the Chinese Taipei team, with eighteen hits and three runs, against four and none. The Chinese Taipei team was delighted with its result, its coach having expected fourth or fifth place, not the second silver for
